Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

How many salivating at this take cash in hand?

It's very quiet on this site today , is everyone sorting their offshore accounts out maybe .


Or a few helping the authorities with their enquiries.

Brussels Broadcasting Corp news..




Quentin Letts reports in his column today that the BBC’s Have I Got News for You asked him to remove his poppy before he appeared on the show last week:


“And to those who have upbraided me for not wearing a poppy on TV’s Have I Got News For You last Friday, apologies. I was wearing one beforehand but was asked to remove it. I should have held my ground but wimped out for an easy life.”

Stan,

I wonder how much money flowed from the tax havens to the coffers of the Brexiters as a response to suggested tax reforms in the EU.

Well who ever else was on the prog , did they not wish to wear it why not stick together and insist . Ian Hislop takes the proverbial out of individuals , obviously feels he's above .

Good question Fred.

I am surprised at Quentin Letts for not insisting he wore the poppy (read his new book)
Why would the BBC not want that ? what has happened to Britain.

what has happened to Britain.

To many people like you in it I expect...when you off back to gun nutter land then?

Stop being Fred's Geisha bitch Stan ,have a mind of your own .

Next week?

leave aside the questionable so-called tax avoidance schemes, the users of which may get clobbered in due course, depending on how any court case turns out

there have been legit tax avoidance schemes for tens of decades which no gov't of any hue has seen fit to close down
if a scheme is truly legit, then a tax adviser has an obligation to point out such things to his clients
morality does not come into it, any more than it does for HMRC (or IRS or any other of similar ilk)
the same applies to companies who avail themselves of legitimate tax avoidance

there is certainly a good argument for closing loopholes insofar as that is possible - not nearly as easy as it sounds - but until that happens, squawking is unwarranted

Squawking warns the flock.

If there's anyone on here who knows about Squawking its Alf 😂

Corbyn, McDonnell and co. are being extremely hypocritical about off shore, tax-free investments, IMHO.

The Labour Party rents its London headquarters from a fund based in Jersey.

The rent is around £1m pa and so in paying it, the Labour Party is helping to fill the coffers of the off-shore trust fund which owns it, namely Schroder Property Managers.

John McDonnell, Shadow Chancellor, has his £14,000 pa pension investment managed in Guernsey. When McDonnell published his tax return and P60 he disclosed £14,421 in income from his Westminster City council pension. McDonnell’s pension investments are managed by the City of Westminster Pension Fund Committee.

In November 2014, the Committee invested £100 million with Longview, an active global equity manager. Longview Partners (Guernsey) Limited is licensed and regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission”. The disclosure of this investment is mentioned in their annual report.

Perhaps the labour party is learning from the tricks of its masters.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

-=-=-=-=

I hear there might be a pretty loss today.

Hope they also pluck the feathers of Boris at the same time.

What a government and party.

The laughing stock of Europe.

Well why don't you just upsticks and eff off somewhere else then you miserable old toad .

He won't do that VIC ,he wallows in misery ...
Just look at him ..

Wallows yes jimmy , so sad that someone spends their time doing nothing but criticising day in day out and trying to drag others into his pathetic existence .
